[04:51] Hi [04:51] FloatingGoat: hello [04:52] I'm a very ameturer musician. [04:52] FloatingGoat: cool... welcome to the channel [04:52] Thanks [04:52] You ever heard of the mxl 990? [04:53] Its a mic. [04:53] yup [04:53] What do you think? [04:53] im not a big mxl fan though [04:53] but, they have some resonably priced gear [04:53] i say, save your money [04:53] Oh, I'm planning on getting it but I hear you need more equiptment [04:53] for not too much more, you can get quite a bit more quality [04:54] FloatingGoat: a preamp? [04:54] you have a preamp? [04:54] Sounds nice! What do you recomend? [04:54] FloatingGoat: for a preamp? [04:54] No I don't. Don't have a mixer. [04:55] you might want to consider a mixer, or a preamp, or some interface with a preamp or preamps on it [04:55] No for aa good mic. I might go to my local.seco.d hand music store.for a preamp [04:55] Sorry I'm on my phone [04:56] I was wonderung what you recomend over the mxl [04:56] the sure KSM27 is a nice mic for the $$ [04:56] nice entry level mic [04:56] How much? [04:56] i like the rode nt1000 i have, and ive heard the rode nt1a's [04:56] FloatingGoat: depends [04:57] i would expect to spend $300 on a decent mic [04:57] Wow [04:57] otherwise, just get whatever 80 dollar mxl you find thats cheap [04:57] I'm an am though so I peobs won't even use it right when I get it [04:58] FloatingGoat: do you have a mic on the computer then? [04:58] why not just use what you got? [04:59] if you find a used one of those mics i mentioned, you can resell them for what you pay [04:59] I want something that sounds good. Well at least the mxl would sound better than what im using now. http://ubuntuone.com/p/1AAK/ [04:59] if you buy an MXL, thats a paperweight, or something you have to give away [04:59] Ill think about it [05:00] sure, i mean, thats what you came here for right ? :) [05:00] FloatingGoat: you might want to consider your environment [05:00] Yeah and to.talk.about different things. [05:00] think about recording with 2 seperate mics [05:00] or, record the guitar, then the vox [05:01] That's actually jot a bad idea [05:01] FloatingGoat: if you can, take a look at the way a studio would do it [05:01] if you go to a studio, and pay $100/hour [05:02] they dont put one shite mic near you playing and singing [05:02] they have maybe a few mics on the guitar [05:02] No I.don't want to do that. I really.just go.with the flow when I play I get into a funk. That doesnt happen wuen I record.seperate [05:02] and one really nice one (or more) on the vox too [05:02] you dont *need* through gear at your problem [05:02] i would suggest trying to get the best results with what you have [05:03] FloatingGoat: so, if you want to record them together [05:03] you need 2 mics [05:03] minimum [05:03] Yeah thanks man. My buds in another server saaid that it sucked.cause my mic did. [05:03] Ill.try it. [05:04] ive been wondering if these are worth anything [05:04] http://www.cascademicrophones.com/cascade_V57_Gold.html [05:04] pretty sure they are crap [05:04] FloatingGoat: that mic sounds like the mic is where it is [05:04] and you are doing what you are doing [05:05] that mic will have limits of course [05:05] but, that could be a really nice mic, and you still wouldnt be happy with the results [05:06] I gotta get better im a noob. And do.you recommend any good.piano.sound files? Loke.for.lmms or rosegarden. Like acoustic piano [05:06] i use pianoteq [05:06] its not free... [05:06] you could ask for soundfont advice in #opensourcemusicians [05:07] Free as in beer? [05:07] im more of an acoustic guy [05:07] FloatingGoat: pianoteq is not free in either way [05:07] Howa.mucha monies [05:07] And ubuntu? [05:07] FloatingGoat: i would suggest trying to find some free soundfonts [05:08] and put that money elsewheres [05:08] i use it on ubuntu [05:08] they have a linux version [05:08] #opensourcemusicians [05:08] sure... those guys know more about soundfonts than i [05:09] Oops
